8/19/2021 A drab, grey morning

[Jack Spencer]

No action as of yet but just love how 487's smoke is going straight up in the air as if she is impatient to start work. Dark mornings sure can produce brilliant smoke effects.

487 is now at the pit. Looks like someone has been given the bell some attention, look how shiny it is. 463 must be inside the house as she is no longer visible on the south cam and I think I see 488's tender outside as well, must be to make space for 463 as one road can't take 2 engines, even with one tenderless.

Conditions have brightened somewhat as 487 backs down the main.

Even if her tender is fairly full, this did not stop the hostlers from adding some more coal.

The clouds have come back as 487 takes 216 out of Chama, but at least it makes for an impressive display of smoke.
